According to TVLine's Vlada Gelman, Henry Ian Cusick won't be returning for season 2 of Scandal, while Joshua Malina (U.S. Attorney David Rosen) who was a recurring guest-star throughout season 1 has been promoted to series regular. Here's an excerpt from the article, which gives an explanation for Cusick's departure from the show:

The decision was reached mutually by the actor, who played Olivia’s womanizing right-hand man, and executive producer Shonda Rhimes; the two are said to have parted ways on amicable terms.

My thoughts: I've only seen two episodes of Scandal at this point, so I don't really have any thoughts on Joshua Malina being made a series regular. I'm definitely a little disappointed that Henry Ian Cusick won't be returning for season two though. I never really liked him all that much on Lost, but I really liked him on Scandal.
